Abstract: This paper presents the framework for well-understood domain analysis as a decisive stage for the successive process of domain-specific software tools building. Specific features of the well-understood domain analysis are formulated. Initial model of the tools to be built and the analysis process are described. Analysis is performed with the reusability concept in mind and as a result essential domain knowledge is extracted. The latter is defined by a term “domain knowledge template”.

Keywords: domain analysis, reuse, VHDL, domain-specific program, program generation, knowledge template
